How to Change Planer Knives DeWalt 733

Changing the knives on a 12.5 inch Portable Thickness Planer. DeWalt 733

[@rebeccasaunders3725]

Thank you so much. I inherited my planer from my uncle, and instructions were lost. After I put my new blade in I noticed the magnetic blade gauges, which I could tell were important but I didn't know how to use. Without the gauges' help, my blade cut but would not pull the board through. Will try to re-adjust using your technique and the gauges...I bet it will work perfectly. Again, thank you!

[@jakeg1342]

excellent video on a process that is not clear in the instructions

[@BryanCookSux]

Much needed info! Just replaced mine for the first time today. Appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@daveturner425]

Thanks SO much! Instructions were totally self-explanatory, all the tools were there on the planer (as you noted) and I changed my blades for the first time in years, in 1/2 an hour!

[@POLPO_WOOD]

Really? Years with out the need to sharpen them?

[@shaunbacker6281]

Very good video... no unwanted talks/music ... to the point! Thank you!! :)

[@ziggydog24]

Thanks for showing how to replace the knives. just making sure I remembered how to replace in the right order. Cheers

[@redneck_amarican2532]

My dad watched for the same reason XD

[@AlanDennis1947]

Thank You for your demo, very helpful.

[@raabsand]

Thanks for the video! Just bought this model and need to check out my blades

[@williamfaulkner763]

Just replaced both blades. Great video, thank you very much for the assistance.

[@donaldporta]

Glad I could help

[@gmanamerican5015]

Very helpful video, I purchased the 733 second hand, and the tools were all missing. I am glad to have watched this video prior to attempting the blade replacement, and was able to obtain the magnetic blade setting blocks and allen key online. I figure the open end and sockets are standard sizes. Again, thanks alot Don.

[@donaldporta]

Glad it helped

[@Matimila59]

Top job Don. Grateful thanks.
I now feel confident to do this without reading the manual.
Gotta love CZcams...

[@Matimila59]

a quick question if I may...
in UK are there any non De Walt blades that work well??

[@flying7525R]

my idea of a perfect video. Clear with no extra nonsense.

[@rideforlife247]

fillister head machine screws, haven't heard that one before, i think they are actually called socket head cap screws, nice video, i will meditate on this

[@johnnelson5536]

Exactly what I needed!!!!

Thanks, very helpful.

Thanks but does anyone know where the location of the guides are on the 733 type 2 model - thanks

Good job sharpening those long blades. What method did you use?

[@user-yl7lq1lh8l]

Mine didn't come with those magnets or the wrench :( Can you buy them after market? Great video, to the point, just how it should be. Thank you.

[@donaldporta]

Happy to help

[@roberthelveston2823]

Good video. As i have just bought this model from a friend.I very much enjoyed your video. This for me is a new tool in my wood working projects. Was wondering how you sharpened your blades so clean? Again thanks Postalbob

[@thecarl168]

robert helveston very useful

[@Valkson1]

thank you!

[@dleivam]

Thanks for sharing, your video is very useful and easy to follow. The owner's manual is awful.

Much appreciated!

[@clamcove]

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this unit. I was befuddled by their poor directions.

[@lawrenceincarnato4200]

Several of the videos on the DWS 33 planer left out critical steps or didn’t explain what they were doing well!

[@wurzel1765]

Very helpful thanks :-)

[@espacios_anonimos]

Thank you!!

[@rimshotdk]

Thank you.

[@Egleone6]

Where and how did you get that magnet and I am assuming it holds the blade back while tightening..

[@TheJeffritchie113]

They should be mounted on the cover that is removed.

[@pklandfried9190]

Greetings and thanks for the detailed video. If I heard you correctly, you said you sharpened your second set of knives. How???? And at what degree? I'm currently knee deep in a project with Hickory and I'm on first name basis with my sharpener. Love to attempt sharpening myself.

[@JoshuaJonah]

Pk Landfried I sharpen mine with a Makita power sharpener to 40 degrees. The stock knives were like 35 degrees.

[@nickwinfield9986]

where can you buy the magnets , my machine didn't come with any

[@redneck_amarican2532]

I'm not sure if you can buy them
If it didn't come with it maybe you can ask for a replacement part?

Have you ever had issues with this planer not feeding properly? Mine gets stuck all the time

[@donaldporta]

only if I am taking too much cut, or the wood is rough cut and the rollers aren't making good contact with the board,

[@darrenleemin1438]

@@donaldporta thank you for the reply Donald! It was happening even with 0.5mm. Watched so many videos and it turns out all I needed to do was re wax the base 🤦🏻‍♂️. It had ‘gummed’ up I think the term is!

[@rafalrafal8977]

@@darrenleemin1438 can I ask which product u used to wax the base? Im in the same situation now

[@darrenleemin1438]

@@rafalrafal8977 Hi Rafal, I used Triplewax car polish but I think any car polish would work just to give it a smooth surface. Hope you get it sorted, it’s really annoying .

[@christophersimmons4272]

Thanks brother

[@donaldporta]

Welcome

[@rusticmade]

where would one get the magnets for setting the blade?

[@bailar0076]

they are with the planner

[@stevencorley3296]

I think the 733 is the only Dewalt model that needs the magnetic guides. Definitely a design defect. That must be why I got mine for such a good deal. ha,ha

[@raabsand]

They should be in the tool storage area. The wrench is in the middle of them

[@mateobrainardo4770]

Mines a pos alignment problem. One blade gouges the HELL outta it, the other one is lazoid.

[@kateselby8734]

Thank you.
The factory instructions were pretty unclear when it came to the knife gauges.

[@mateobrainardo4770]

Yeah, I’ve had problems aligning one bladeo to the other.

[@24revealer]

Are the magnetic setting jigs hidden on the planer somewhere?

[@raabsand]

They are in the tool storage. He puts them back where they should be

[@24revealer]

Thanks, Downloaded the manual and that's what it showed. Had to order some as they were missing.

Two knives

Two in this model 3 in the 734

[@i.c.d.9512]

i dont get magnets... no magnets in box...

[@mateobrainardo4770]

Good job using a blockk to rotate the cylinder. I nicked my thumb on some new blades. They’re WICKED SHARAP.

[@wicked650s]

Those are cap head screws (alen head), not fillister head screws (standard straight slot head).

[@donaldporta]

Thanks for noticing that!
